My mum was the best mum and friend I could have wished for. We laughed, we cried we were their for each other always. To loose such a wonderful person makes me realise how lucky I was to have you in my life. For that I will always be grateful. X

Dedicating a light to my dad who loved Christmas and made it so magical for us as children, and then for my children. Always look for the brightest star in the sky.

My mum said she didn't like Christmas much and its was a big fuss for one day. She loved shopping and buying gits for everyone though! She had a stash of presents from around April.

My first Christmas without my soulmate and I'm going to miss him so so much , his silliness with our grandchildren, his laugh, his many funny ways but most of all his love, not a day goes by that I don't miss you Barrie and wish you were still by my side, love you always, shine bright to lead the way for me to join you.

Hello, I have made a kind donation in memory of my amazing mum, Sarah and would love to share her story.

My mum was cared for by St Barnabas hospice, and stayed in the inpatient unit November-December 2024. At the age of 38 she had been diagnosed with a rare, incurable form of genetic lung cancer. Her short battle with cancer was terrible for us all to see, but the incredible care she received at your hospice meant the world to us.

One of the last memories we ever made with our mum was watching the torchlight procession together outside the unit. The staff assisted in bundling my mum up in blankets and fluffy socks and wheeled her outside to watch the light walk with her family and children. There were tears, smiles, laughter, kind words and hugs from those passing by. I am heartbroken yet honoured to be participating in the walk this year in honour of my mother.

On the 4th of December, the staff set up their conservatory to allow us to spend one last Christmas Day as a family. We laid presents under the beautiful tree, played music and ate a Christmas dinner and cakes brought in by family. My mum was able to watch her young boys and teenage girls open the presents she’d picked out for them earlier in the year, alongside being spoilt herself with lots and lots of bracelets, teddy bears and skincare! The nurses were constantly on hand to assist with pain management and ensuring my mum was comfortable throughout the day.

The staff gave it their all, from washing, brushing and drying mum’s hair to being there for a broken family in the worst moments of their life. They went above and beyond to allow us to make those last memories. The nurses constantly spoke to me and my siblings and ensured we were staying as strong as possible! Mandy stayed with us as my mum took her last breaths and I’m forever grateful that we had her support and guidance, and that she showed my mum complete compassion and gentle care right up until the end.

My mum was treated with respect and dignity until the moment she left your unit. She loved the yummy food, joking around with her nurses and watching the squirrels and birds from her window. It felt like home.

Thank you St Barnabas, we will always keep your charity close to our hearts. You have made a huge difference to our lives.

Mum,
Missing you always not just at Christmas.
Love you forever ???? xxx

In memory of my beloved Granny and Grandad, who benefited from and truly appreciated St Barnabas. Thank you both for lighting up my life. I love you both.
